caseys Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 07:00 - BBC & Met report 25cm of snow due over Bournemouth from 6pm 11:00 - Local news bump that up to 40cm from 6pm 15:30 - 30 seconds of snow. Doesn't settle as ground was wet 20:00 - Not a single flake since 15:30. Pathetic. I even got the sledge in the shed primed and ready. Edit: It was -9 at 6am, went for a drive this evening and the car took longer to warm up that usual and didn't go into overdrive for a little while and stuck to 2nd/3rd in D for a little while whilst the box was still warming up I guess. So it's fecking cold here but somehow we have this anti-snow microclimate. Ice and dangerous roads? Yep, we get that. Snow? Not a fecking flake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 During normal logical thought, the brain normally releases a substantial amount of heat.There is evidence that this is sufficient to raise local temperatures by 4-5 degrees K. However, whenever someone starts making illogical statements like this: The weather here is to stay around or below freezing for the next two weeks, I blame all those tw@ts who witter on about global warming! ....and fails to understand really simple concepts like this: Climate ≠ weather ...then, sadly, the brain has effectively stopped working and produces no heat whatsoever. This leads to a drop in the local temperature, leading to further severe conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Are you trying to imply Britain has some of mkivsupra.net's members to blame for the meteorological downturn? That's like saying gays cause floods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying gays cause floods That's exactly what I'm saying. . And gays do cause floods, because a gay bloke I know admitted it, and he said he did it on purpose, too.

Tann, just think of it like this : At least they still have some joules we could release via a chemical reaction and create heat. Maybe this temperature is the triple point of some people's brains and so cease to function? Reminds me last night I was reading the history of K and went on to read about cryocoolers. Amazing what you can learn when you suffer a bit of insomnia.If we think this is cold I'd hate to see us having to start measuring the atmosphere in K if it all does go to pot (which inevitably it will with heat death) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not sure about Tannhauser .... I mean, I have met the gentleman, hell, he's sat in our kitchen and taken tea with us. I understand why he was suspicious of us now, he'd seen the Daily Mail on the table, I thought it was the final demand for the water rates that had caught his eye, but I see the problem now, I was doomed and damned in his eyes from the start He's very kind to me on here, at times complimentary in fact, which I find genuinely flattering, even though we are obviously politically poles apart. What don't I get? Well, it's like this. I maybe go out some place, see some guy, say to `er indoors, "See that *wa* over there, I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him". She says, "Why, what's up with him?". I reply, "Dunno, but he wants a baseball bat over his head". End of conversation, we move on, usually to the bar. Now I worry that Tannhauser would ebb into a long, somewhat complex, and Bertie Russell like monologue about prejudices, fears, ethnicity, accent, town of origin, education, job function, hair style, dress, hell, God knows what else, the mind boggles. I never cease to be impressed by his posts, the depth of research put into them, the references to arcane reading matter substantiating his witterings, they are fantastic. But *PLEASE* tell me that just *OCCASIONALLY* he too has a "That *wa* wants a baseball bat over his head" moment, without recourse to any analysis or conjecture If not, my uncertainty remains, it's just not natural!
